CUMBERLAND — Area residents who come out to donate blood this Labor Day weekend from Saturday through Monday will get some help from the American Red Cross in filling their gas tanks as the organization’s 100-county Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region is repeating its popular summer holiday gas card promotion.
Donors at all the blood region’s blood drives and platelet donor centers will receive a $5 gas card while supplies last.

• Saturday: Bedford, Pa., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Procare Sport Plex, 125 Willow Grove Drive; Chambersburg, Pa., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pond Bank Mennonite Church, 6555 Duffield Road.
